What's your response when you tell someone you're going flying and they say "Be careful."? I know the comment is well intended, but I've seen some of these people drive (and eat), and trust me, my flying is far safer than what they do to themselves on a daily basis. Mostly, I say "Thank you.",...

Flyers, First, as a reminder, some may recall that I had unwittingly landed one day in Williamsburg, VA without the flaps. I didn't notice they had not deployed until my next pre-flight when I found them INOP. They I remembered out fast I came over the fence and controlling the airspeed was...

On Christmas Eve, I got to go flying. I took a friend of ours on a 200 nm cross country to drop her off with her family for the holidays. On the good side, the visibility was as good as I've ever seen in the Southeast. Probably 150 miles or more. I could see the Smokey Mtns waay north. Also,...
